Renovation decision tools

Know what to decidebefore you ask for a price.

Start with the free Renovation Pre-Check. Detailed specification and QC support is issued to clients when a project starts.

Start here · free

Not sure where to begin? Start with the Renovation Pre-Check.

It tells you your risk level, likely trades, budget confidence, decision list, and whether you need ALUMAX product supply or ELS specification support. Budget guidance is built into the result — no separate step.

Scope the room, then decide

The tools that settle what the room has to do — scope, decisions, lifestyle and budget — before you pick a material or ask for a price.

Room Layouts

Start here. Confirm your house type, then see how each room is usually arranged for it — where the sofa goes, where you walk — drawn as a simple top-down plan. Style and scope both come after this.

Room Decision System

Every room decision weighed on use, cost and look — so you choose on how the space has to perform, not just the finish.

Lighting Designer

Design light around what you do and the surfaces you see — ten decisions in order, each option weighed on use, look and cost. Fewer, better-placed fixtures on separate layers, not a ceiling of downlights.

Screens & Shading Designer

Curtains, blinds, louvres and panels — ten decisions in order, from the real problem (glare, heat, privacy) to operation. A dual-layer default: light-filtering by day, blackout by night, external shading where the sun is fierce.

Furniture Designer

Loose furniture that supports the room, not fills it — ten decisions in order, plus a curated ~100-piece library tagged to the activities each piece serves. Built for StayReady lets: durable, washable, turnover-ready.

Appliance Planner

The 10 kitchen appliances, planned before the cabinets — each with its cut-out, clearances, services and the exact-model record to lock before the shop drawing. Never approve a cabinet drawing on estimated dimensions.

What Your Budget Builds

See what each budget band actually builds — Essential, Signature or Bespoke — mapped to real scope, so the number means something.

Commercial Viability Simulator

Your own numbers in — rent, ticket, margin — and the premises' requirements out: daily break-even, needed walk-ins, maximum affordable rent, payback. ELS designs the space around what those numbers demand.

My Project

Every choice you make across ELS — style, saved rooms, materials, colours, products, budget — collects here, so you and ELS see the whole decision in one place.

Storage tier

So ELS does not hand you a hardware catalogue. You choose a storage tier, and the accessories are specified for you from the room, the budget and the style.

45 decisions, side by side

Same room, same camera, one variable changed — layouts, tiers, materials, lighting and the StayReady packages, shown so the difference is seen before it's priced.

Verify · prove it before production

See exactly what you receive.

Sample deliverables and the physical sample pack show the drawings, specifications and finishes you sign off before anything is cut. The staged QC checklist behind them is public; the full specification set is issued with a code when a paid engagement starts.

Material & finish tools · free

Supporting selections

Useful once direction is set — flooring, hardware, colour and room sizes, all vetted for Sarawak conditions.

Your proposal · free

Every choice, assembled into one proposal.

As you run the tools, ELS assembles your recommended direction, spaces, materials, the ELS-and-ALUMAX scope split and an indicative planning band — a proposal you can save, print or send to ELS in one tap.

Start with clarity

Two minutes of clarity beats three contractor revisions.
